NORTH: September 7, 2015

More than 300 citizens, politicians, and dignitaries attended All Aboard! the pre-sinking festivities for the Mexican Naval patrol vessel Uribe 121, which will live on in infamy at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Now, I’m as patriotic as the next Mexican, I’ve certainly been known to wave the bandera for the Republic, but wearing this stereotype sombrero is where I draw the line. My mom is a Gringa, (I’m actually adopted), and if you ask me, she’s jealous of my status as a Mexie.
